yer my first car was a xy falcon and i do like the gt's and ho's but maybe not my top three
and i really like fairlanes and have the zh but id say for me top three prob be similar to Charliewool 32 coupe but the coupe pickup (donno why i like them but hey) 429 boss but the 1967 ford fairlane boss 429 and prob round out with the gt 40 theyd prob be my best three as for iconic three id prob change that list so pending on what you class "best three" to be ill list it as my preferred best three

1. Model T because without the T Ford probably wouldn't exist at all
2. Ford Mustang because it spurned the real muscle car era including here . 3. Ford F Series....They've sold incredible numbers . Honourable mentions for Ford Escort for similar reason to F Series . GT 40 , GTHO for being iconic to many of us as are some loved For V8s and of course the mighty Barra 4.0 in this country albeit not too well known elsewhere .. Fun thread . All sorts of interesting opinions will come forward I guess . |

The ones that hold the most memories for me are Escort, Sierra and Falcon in no particular order.

I forgot about the GT40 (mentioned ^) as i was more focussed on Aussie Ford models not worldwide.
I love them........ More the original not the remake though. |
